Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Deputy Chief Timothy Belcher for his stellar and philanthropic contributions to the 5000 Role Models of Excellence Project. Frederick Douglass once said, ``it is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.'' Thank you so much for believing in our mission of interrupting the school to prison pipeline and to guiding our young boys along a cheerfully charted path and sending them to college. [[Page E1036]] You are investing in the children of our community, and they will be the benefactors of your investment for generations to come. You will always be a part of us, and we will always be a part of you. Thank you for all that you do on behalf of our children. Mr. Speaker, please join me in honoring Deputy Chief Timothy Belcher, a 2023 Role Model Wall Man with a generous philanthropic spirit, and I ask my colleagues from the 117th Congress to join me in honoring this special circle of brotherhood. ____________________
